Define the deployment scope

In K–12 education, iPad and Mac deployments vary in scope—ranging from deploying shared devices in individual classrooms to deploying one-on-one devices throughout a district.

Define the scope of your deployment, set a timeline for milestones, and measure project success as you progress through implementation to full utilization.

You can use this table as a checklist to help you highlight the scope of your deployment project.

Apple has worked with education researchers and Apple Distinguished Schools to learn what it takes to build successful deployments. Those findings are compiled in the Apple Leadership series of books, with insights and learnings from similar deployments that can help you and your leadership team establish a vision for your own initiative.
